Five Gymnasts Selected To 2010 NCAA Regional Championship Meet
March 29, 2010

Indianapolis, IN-Five University of Bridgeport gymnasts have been selected to compete as individuals at this year's NCAA University Park Regional that will hosted by Penn State University on April 10, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.

Junior Lorranie Galow (Suwanee, GA) and sophomore Miranda Der (Palo Alto, CA) have been selected to compete in the All-Around competition at the NCAA Regional. This is the third consecutive year that Galow has earned a spot in the NCAA's.

Sophomore Emily Repko (Gilbertsville, PA) was selected to compete on the Balance Beam as an individual event specialist.

Freshman Monica Mesalles (Barcelona, Spain), on the Vault and in the Floor Exercise, and senior Carissa Huggins (Jacksonville, FL) on the Uneven Bars were named to the NCAA Regional as alternates in those individual events.

Six teams, five all-around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and one individual event specialist per event [who has a minimum Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) of 9.4] were named to each of the six NCAA regional championship meets.

The top-18 teams were seeded on a national basis, based on RQS. Teams 19-36 were assigned to a regional site based on geographic proximity. All-around competitors and event specialists were assigned within their respective regions.

In case of ties for the last berth into regional competition and for seeding purposes, the team, all-around competitor or individual event specialist with the highest score, not including the six used for the regional qualifying score, will qualify. If a tie still exists, the process is continued until the tie is broken.
